Turn Skincare Into Self-Care<\/p>\n

\u201cSkincare can be a form of self-care, promoting mindfulness, reducing stress and helping to boost confidence,\u201d San Miguel said.<\/p>\n

She started with Borghese Advanced Fango Active Mud for Face and Body, an Italian mud mask featuring bentonite clay, avocado oil and vitamins A, C, D and E. The mask retails for $58 and is available through Borghese.<\/a><\/p>\n

For lightweight hydration, San Miguel highlighted Mad Hippie Brightening Gel Moisturizer, formulated with ingredients including vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. The moisturizer retails for $29.99 and is available through ULTA<\/a> and Mad Hippie. <\/a>Mad Hippie has also opened its first flagship store in Austin.<\/p>\n

She also introduced Ludient Radiance Glass Serum, from a Korean skincare brand that San Miguel said uses AI and millions of skin data points to inform product development. The serum retails for $33.90 and is available through Ludient.<\/a><\/p>\n

Makeup With Skincare Benefits<\/p>\n

Supporting Strength and Nutrition<\/p>\n

Wellness also means supporting the body from within.<\/p>\n

San Miguel highlighted Elysium Health Creatine+, <\/a>a supplement featuring creatine monohydrate along with additional ingredients designed to support strength and recovery. Creatine+ retails for $70 per pouch, with a subscription option also available.<\/p>\n

For those looking to increase their protein intake, she recommended Sunrider SunFit Protein Plus, a vegan protein powder offering 20 grams of plant-based protein per serving. It retails for $76.74 and is available through Sunrider.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re seeing growing research on the long-term benefits of strength training for women,\u201d San Miguel said. \u201cBut, of course, in order to get the most out of our lifts, we need to consume enough protein.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seasonings Designed Around the Experience<\/p>\n

From Starwest Botanicals, <\/a>San Miguel showcased Poetic Apothecary Functional Seasonings, a collection of seasoning blends built around different flavor and aroma profiles.<\/p>\n

The collection incorporates terpenes, naturally occurring aromatic compounds found in plants, herbs and spices, with each blend designed around a particular culinary experience.<\/p>\n

The collection is available through Starwest Botanicals.<\/a><\/p>\n

Make Time to Recharge<\/p>\n

For rest and recovery, San Miguel introduced the Burtran Recharge Mask<\/a>, a wearable mask designed for 20- to 60-minute rest sessions. According to San Miguel, it incorporates features including AI personalization, sensing technology, Bluetooth audio, warming and light blocking. The mask retails for $199.99 through Burtran.<\/a><\/p>\n

She also highlighted LifeWave X39, a non-transdermal wearable patch that the company markets as using its patented phototherapy technology to support overall well-being. X39 is $149.95 for a one-time purchase or $99.95 through a monthly subscription.<\/p>\n

Try Contrast Therapy in Austin<\/p>\n

Finally, San Miguel spotlighted SweatHouz<\/a>, a wellness concept centered around contrast therapy using alternating heat and cold exposure.<\/p>\n

Private suites feature an infrared sauna, cold plunge and vitamin C shower, allowing guests to move through a 60-minute session at their own pace.<\/p>\n
